Base launches Base MCP on May 26, 2026, enabling AI agents to execute DeFi actions
Base, Coinbase's Ethereum L2 network, introduced Base MCP on May 26, 2026, a Model Context Protocol gateway that lets AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor initiate onchain actions through natural-language prompts. Users can approve transfers, swaps, and other DeFi steps in the Base App after reviewing simulated changes, while the server holds no private keys and relies on OAuth 2.1 for account authentication.
